• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

Karahi? What's that Bryn?
And what beverage did you pair it up with?

Lassi for believers, IPA should be the choice for us infidels. Because that is what it was brewed for (soldiers on the subcontinent) with extra hops for preservation to allow shipping from Burton to Imperial India. A chilled Thornbridge Jaipur would be my choice.

Didn’t know they added hops to make IPA, I’d always assumed it was killed beer.

Hops, or an alkaloid in them, have an antimicrobial activity so were originally added to preserve beer rather than add flavour. India Pale Ale (IPA) was brewed with a higher hop content so a 'British beer' could be shipped to our boys in the Raj without spoilage.
 
Had Chicken Tarka last week, similar to Tikka except it's a little 'otter.


Used to have Chicken Korai before. Chicken with, tomatoes, peppers and onions. Very nice.
Get home one night and there's no veg, just lots of chicken. Couldn't work it out until I realised the new owners were from Wolverhampton.

Right. Coincidentally, I googled ‘White Shield’ earlier to see if it was still made, it is, and I was totally gobsmacked to read that they started brewing it in 1829 primarily for the Raj types. As I posted before, I always assumed that India Pale Ale was supplied to India in a form where there was no sediment to aid with shipping. Well we’ll, you keep on learning don’t you.
